Chapter 967: It's all for the sake of the celebration

Yu Dashan had the courage to talk a few words just now, and he already secretly regretted this kind of "disobedient" act of "arguing about the government in vain", and he didn't think that his son dared to say it more than himself, so he hurriedly persuaded at the moment: "Be quiet! Don't let people listen to this kind of talk!"

Although Yu Dashan doesn't have much culture, after all, he is early enough to be a dragon, and he has worked hard without credit for a few years, and the loyalty of the father and son to Haihan is undoubted, and now they are both senior cadres in the system, Yu Dashan is not proud and complacent because of this, forgetting how many catties and taels he weighs, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and today he has said to this extent, which is already quite out of line with him.

Yu Xiaobao does not have as many taboos as his father, and with his understanding of the leaders, in fact, this kind of view of the difference in political system is not a forbidden topic. The division of labor between the various yamen and the Haihan departments of the Ming Dynasty often caused heated discussions after the tea and dinner of the chiefs, and the comparison between the two was also an achievement that the chiefs were quite proud of.

Haihan's department classification and function distribution is far more detailed than the Ming Dynasty's function distribution method with six departments as the main body, such as a single household department, including the functions of Haihan's finance, civil affairs, commerce, auditing, taxation and many other departments, but this kind of all-encompassing system did not bring efficient operation to the Ming bureaucracy, but because of the bloated organization, the personnel structure became slow to respond, and the operation efficiency was low. The reasonable division of functions of Haihan has allowed each department to have a more professional and efficient operation mechanism, which can make this emerging force rise rapidly in just a few years, and there is a tendency to override many old forces.

However, regarding the arrangement of his work, Yu Xiaobao really didn't want to debate with his father too much about the rights and wrongs, Ning Qi and Schneider had already told him that as long as they did things in peace, they should not have too many non-divided ideas, and they should accumulate more experience in various fields when they were young, so that they would have more opportunities to be reused in the future. Whether he is working in the Youth League or in another department, he will gain a lot of experience personally, and these are the parts that Yu Dashan, the senior foreman in charge of infrastructure projects currently inaccessible, cannot quite understand.

Yu Xiaobao knows very well that there are not many young and highly used naturalized cadres like him under Haihan's rule, and they may not climb to a high position within three or five years, but after ten or twenty years, there will definitely be a place for their young people at the top of Haihan's officialdom. Compared with his future development prospects, he is more concerned about his father's situation.

"Dad, how is the progress of the project you have been managing recently?" Yu Xiaobao took the initiative to change the topic and asked.

Yu Dashan shook his head and said: "There are no big problems, there are constant small problems, all for this celebration to catch up with the construction period!"

Yu Dashan has been in charge of the expansion project of the Sanya State Guest House in recent months, and the original size of the guest rooms of the State Guest House could no longer meet the reception requirements of this celebration, so as early as the middle of last year, the Executive Committee allocated a special fund to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to renovate and expand the local reception institutions.

Located at the foot of the northwest hill of Shengli Fort, the State Guest House, which is specially designed to receive foreign guests, is designed according to the style of townhouses, which can be regarded as one of the most upscale residential areas in Sanya. The people who can stay here are basically representatives and envoys from various countries stationed in Sanya, or high-level people who visit Sanya. Of course, there are occasionally some nouveau riche with deep pockets who choose to stay in the most expensive place in Sanya, on the one hand, to enjoy the high-end treatment that is difficult for ordinary people to get, and on the other hand, to get close to the social circle of high-level people, and find opportunities to talk about business or other cooperation matters.

Due to the special nature of this year's anniversary celebration, a record number of foreign guests will be invited, and I wonder if there will be many stakeholders who have not received the invitation but will still take the initiative to attend the ceremony. The State Guest House was expected to be full, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to complete the expansion in advance of the celebration to accommodate the crowds that flocked to the ceremony.

The existing 20 or 30 villas in the State Guest House have been renovated in previous years, but this expansion needs to double its reception capacity in less than a year, and the construction period is still very tight. Yu Dashan is afraid that the construction period will affect such a major event as the founding ceremony, so he rarely goes home in recent months, and his food and accommodation are basically on the construction site. Although there is no need to work in person as he did in the early years, Yu Dashan is still used to staring at the construction of his craftsmen on the front line, so that he can feel more at ease.

However, repairing a house is not a matter of working overtime alone to greatly shorten the construction period, and many processes need to wait for a considerable period of time before proceeding to the next step. Moreover, many of the materials and accessories used in the decoration of the guest house are transported from Guangdong or even as far away as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and once the shipping schedule or delivery date is slightly delayed in this process, it is easy to become a situation where the entire construction site is suspended. Although Yu Dashan does not need to bear this part of the responsibility, as the on-site supervisor of this project, his control of the entire construction schedule has added more uncertainties, and he will naturally be anxious about it.

At present, all units and departments have entered the sprint stage of preparing for the founding celebration of the People's Republic of China in April, and many senior cadres who have followed Haihan to fight the world together regard this celebration as an important opportunity in their lives, and they have spared no effort to supervise the preparation work like Yu Dashan.

At the same time, the work of changing guards in various localities has also begun more than two months earlier than in previous years. In the past, it was usually after the anniversary celebration in April that the armed personnel stationed in various places began to change their guard according to the establishment, but this year the situation is more special, and the garrisons will send some personnel to participate in this year's military parade, and also act as an additional security force during the celebration. In this way, all localities must let these people who participated in the celebration return to Sanya in advance to join the unified rehearsal.

In addition to the secret military transfers, the police also sent hundreds of capable police officers from various parts of Hainan Island back to Sanya to maintain local social order before and after the celebrations. If this were not the case, it would have been difficult for the police in the previous Spanish espionage case to quickly and effectively block the access to Victory Port, eliminating the possibility of those involved absconding.

The occurrence of Du Wen's case has undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for the judicial department, and the investigation of newly arrived immigrants has become more and more strict. In the past, the relevant departments generally paid more attention to the health status of immigrants, and the Immigration Affairs Bureau did not bother to slowly verify the identity of some people whose origins are vague and difficult to confirm. Of course, this more complete file system can only be applied to new immigrants for the time being, and the old files of the past will probably not be updated until the next census.

In order to ensure that uncontrollable factors during the celebration period are minimized, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has issued an official document at the end of January that it will suspend the transfer of non-naturalized immigrants to Sanya from now until April 30. Although this may lead to an increase in local labor costs in a short period of time, the Executive Committee now attaches more importance to social stability during this period, and in order to maintain stability during the festival, it is not a problem to spend a little more money during this special period.

On February 7, the railway line from Sanya Port to Tiandu Industrial Zone via Shengli Port began to undergo its first comprehensive maintenance after completion. Although the number of trains affected by this will be reduced, the good news is that the maintenance period is not long, only 10 to 12 days. During this period, the railway department will repair and maintain some steam locomotives, overhaul the entire railway line, and some sections of the road in poor condition will also be repaired by the roadbed, and even replace the tracks of some of the sections.

On 10 February, the quarantine camp on the Luhuitou Peninsula began to be gradually emptied, and the area will be vacated as a temporary base for troops transferred back to participate in the founding celebrations during this period. According to the calculations of the Central Military Commission, the number of troops returning from various overseas stations in the near future will reach about 1,000. With the addition of the two army battalions and a full-fledged naval fleet already stationed in Sanya, the size of the garrison in the near future will exceed 3,000 people. If you include the police and militia, this number is probably the highest number of troops stationed in Sanya since Haihan landed in Sanya.

On 15 February, Shengli Port and Sanya Port began to simultaneously carry out a half-month "comprehensive management" activity, mainly to carry out a relatively thorough cleaning of the port area, and to investigate some long-standing public security, sanitation, and fire fighting blind spots in the port area one by one, and some areas and facilities that need to be repaired will also be arranged for corresponding construction teams to enter the site as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, this kind of measure is actually a face-saving project, and I hope that foreign representatives will leave a deep impression on Sanya as soon as they come here.

In fact, in terms of the level of port construction and daily operation, Sanya Port and Shengli Port are definitely the leaders in the Far East, even if they are the first to pave navigation routes around the world, they are not as good as Haihan in this regard. Advanced port planning and excellent and efficient management methods are the conditions that the peers of this era do not have, Haihan is also relying on these innate advantages in the competition in the past few years to overtake, in the port operation beyond many competitors, and take this opportunity to win more trade opportunities for its own development.

On 17 February, a fleet from Yunfu, Guangdong, arrived at the port of Sanya. The goods transported by this fleet are tens of thousands of marble floor tiles made in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Commerce of Haihan, which were loaded from Yunfu and sailed down the Xijiang River through Zhaoqing and Macao, and it took more than ten days to arrive at Sanya Port. The purpose of the Ministry of Commerce ordering this batch of floor tiles from Yunfu is to complete the ground laying project of Victory Square before the celebration.

The project was halfway completed last year, but waiting for the delivery of the other half of the tiles was three months behind schedule. This is because there is a bandit near Yunfu, which makes the local people uneasy, and Zhaoqing Prefecture, which is across the Xijiang River, is unwilling to spend manpower and material resources to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, so it has dragged on for several months and has not completely solved the problem. In the end, the Executive Committee issued instructions to the Guangzhou Office, so that the "Golden Shield Escort" organized an armed team of more than 300 people in the name of escorting goods, and it took more than two days to rush to Yunfu by boat from Guangzhou, and then spent another two days to fight in the mountains.

Zhaoqing Mansion was well aware of the actions of the Haihan people, and he had been blind from beginning to end, and he had never made a sound at all. Of course, the government did not care about the errand expenses for sending troops to suppress bandits this time, and naturally the local stone merchants had to bear most of it. Fortunately, this business is really profitable, and even after deducting the cost of Haihan sending people to suppress the bandits, there is still a slight surplus. However, the delivery time was delayed by this accident, and the renovation project of Victory Square has been stalled until now. The Ministry of Commerce was afraid that it would not be able to catch up with the construction period, so it specially asked the Ministry of Shipping to transfer a few fast ships to Yunfu to rush back this batch of goods.

From now to the beginning of April, it is only a little more than a month, considering the construction time and maintenance time, the personnel of the Ministry of Construction can really only enter the site immediately to start construction, in order to deliver the Victory Square before the end of March.

Since the end of February, businessmen from all over the South China Sea have consciously rushed to Sanya like carnivores smelling meat, intending to take advantage of the grand opportunity organized by the Haihan people. Most of these businessmen had already heard from various sources that Haihan would announce the establishment of the state in early April, and this decision was mostly positive in the eyes of the merchants, and after the establishment of the country, Haihan would definitely further expand the scale of trade, and this is exactly the result that multinational businessmen wanted to see.

Haihan's old friend, Zheng Zheng, the little prince of Annan, also came to Sanya in early March. After completing the negotiation mission on Ambuna Island, he returned to Thang Long Province in Annam to report on the actual situation of the trade alliance, and then did not stay long at home before rushing to Sanya. According to the instructions of his old man, Zheng Jie, the king of Qingdu, this year Annan will take advantage of this opportunity to place the largest arms trade order since the cooperation between the two sides to the Haihan side. For no other reason, the five-year period of peace that followed the end of the civil war in Annam will probably come to an end within this year. (To be continued.) )
